Overview
The International Council on Clean Transportation aims to provide regulators and other key stakeholders with research and analysis to enact policies that cut emissions from vehicles, protect public health, and minimize climate change. The organization will work toward the adoption of advanced fuel economy standards for cars and trucks to reduce their fuel consumption in key regions such as the United States, Europe and China. Additional work will focus on implementation of zero emissions vehicle mandates in the United States and adoption and implementation of pollution controls for cars and trucks in China, India, and Mexico, and for ships globally.

Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
The International Council on Clean Transportation works to provide regulators and other key stakeholders with research and analysis to enact policies that cut emissions from vehicles, protect public health, and minimize climate change. We recommend renewed support for its work to secure adoption of advanced standards for tailpipe emissions in cars and trucks and to ensure diesel has a sulfur content of 15 ppm or less. These two policies would reduce particulate matter emissions from vehicles in China, Brazil and Mexico by over 80 percent by 2030.
for general operating support
The mission of the International Council on Clean Transportation is to protect public health, minimize climate change, and improve quality of life for billions of people as the world’s transportation infrastructure grows. We recommend renewal of our support for the organization to work primarily in China, Mexico, and Brazil to secure adoption of Euro VI-equivalent standards for tailpipe emissions in light duty and heavy duty vehicles and to ensure diesel has a sulfur content of 15 ppm or less. These two policies will reduce particulate matter emissions from vehicles by over 80 percent by 2030.
